National packed set-top box on a chip

Hanover – National Semiconductor has demonstrated at the CeBIT his company’s strategy for so-called information appliances, which are information appliances that are smaller than PCs. The company sees a strong growth market in this area: In about five years, more information would be sold as PC applications, the company quoted a recent study by market research firm IDC.

National Semiconductor wanted to focus on the following areas: Set-top boxes, thin clients and Internet access devices with the added emphasis on home networking and wireless applications. That said Roland Andersson, General Manager Europe at the CeBIT press conference in Hanover.

For these areas, the company intends to provide complete system solutions, including reference platforms, software and system-on-a-chip products. ? National’s system-level and integrated silicon solutions are the enabling technologies for information appliances that give users access the Internet anytime, anywhere? Enthused Andersson.

Initial samples of the upcoming system-on-a-chip products will be available in mid 1999. The company cited three examples: set-top box-on-a-chip, thin-client-on-a-chip and web-pad-on-a-chip.
